Tankless Electric Water Heater Below an Electrical Panel
Comments (9)Have to disagree with GreenDesigns who states, "they offer almost zero improvement in efficiency of a new high quality tanked electric heater. ...electrical tankless is only truly practical if designed for a new build from the beginning. Retrofitting is extremely expensive and won't give you a payback for the cost differences inside of your lifetime." I put a whole-house electric tankless in my 1906 house and will never store water in a tank again. Absolutely love it! It's mounted on the wall, directly to the side and just above the dryer. I did not bother to hide the water lines inside the wall, but since they're [mostly] hidden by the dryer, who cares? Sometimes, putting plumbing pipes in the wall is highly overrated. Mine is in the bath/laundry room and I've never found it to be unsightly. Yes, the tankless requires quite a bit of power: Mine requires two, double-pole 60amp breakers with 6g wire. So, here's where distance from the electric panel is a cost consideration....See MoreHow to modify cabinets - going from 30' hood to 36' hood
Comments (23)Yep, just stopped back in and saw that OP said hood is 30" and cooktop is 36". That changes my answer. Gotta find 6" to at least make the hood the same size as the cook top. That's what I thought I was suggesting before. camsi-buehl did link to the FKB which stands for Finished Kitchen Blog. Sorry, I didn't realize you did not know about it. It's a great resource for inspiration....See MoreMinimum useful width for tray cabinet with framed cabinets
Comments (11)With face framed cabinets you lose approx 1-1/2" in the cabinet opening...leaving you with a 4-1/2" opening in a 6" cabinet. But, there's a way you can get all 6" of the opening even in face framed cabinets...use what's known as a "filler pullout". These are pullouts that are installed by attaching them to the walls of the cabinets on either side. I.e., it's not a 6" cabinet, it's a 6" opening b/w two cabinets w/a pullout installed in the space. This is a great way to utilize every inch, especially for those narrow places. They're available for a space as narrow as 3" (like those pesky 3" fillers you need here & there...you might be able to install these in some of them!) I have two 6" ones in my kitchen...flanking my cooktop. One thing, though, get the one w/adjustable shelves. That's what I thought I was getting, but it didn't turn out that way. There are also some w/open tops...a big plus as well. Here's s thread from about 18 months ago about this subject: Thread: Rev-A-Shelf Spice Racks for Fillers -- Have you seen these!!!! http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg1020292023561.html Also, see the link below for Rev-A-Shelf's base filler pullouts (they also have wall/upper cabinet pullouts, btw). Oh, and you can get them much cheaper elsewhere! (Try OvisOnline, KitchenSource, TheHardwareHut, CabinetParts, etc.) And, of course, the pictures!

Comments (26)Since I read and worked on this thread years ago, I've lived with a new pantry closet that is now overstuffed. Things I never expected to store in this pantry but which are now resident there: table leaves and pads [dining table leaves used to live under a bed; leaves are now slid into padded pajamas and then into a built-in wooden sleeve on one side of pantry but new pads--needed since our dog is no longer trustworthy--are stored willy nilly, if I take them off my table]; second set of leaves for kitchen table, also stored willy nilly at back of closet. dog food bin; dog pills, etc [I have an underslung add-on for the wire shelving that holds the dog meds] extension cords, including my wind-up outdoor cord folding two-step ladder stool with support hoop at top, replacing smaller folding step [hey, I'm old now] two dehydrators [no longer operate them inside closet--humidity problem] ironing board and iron [holder is mounted on wall] booze, beer--okay, so we are retired and recreationally we try exotic stuff that isn't in everyday use, but we don't want to truck it to the basement for some reason or other, so it ends up here, esp. a tote bag of speciality rums and DH's collection of Scotch in fancy boxes specialty foods and beverages for my [new] digestive condition [anyone else buying ginger products, wheatless crackers, no-fructose beverages, tinned meats in bulk?] canning jars in boxes, for jelly making paper bags offseason tins for holiday baking [yes, I have too many but they're cute and it's hard to find Scandinavian theme ones when you need them] two large Ikea trays for toting stuff to and from deck, etc. that don't fit into my kitchen vertical storage cabinet offseason storage of materials associated with offset deck umbrella offseason storage of some summer deck stuff attachments caddy for vacuum cleaner; I always knew we'd store a vacuum in the closet but who knew the new model would have so much stuff associated with it? new, larger crock pot (oval) as well as old crock pot food mill [hangs on a hook]; mandoline; sausage making equipment and supplies more than one thermos bottle [well, actually four thermoses on average, they come and they go] broom holder [is mounted on the inside of the door--holds regular broom, faux mop, and stiff broom; waste pans clip to the brooms] We mounted a light on the inside of the door wall, shining into the closet. We had to install a vent at top of the closet [feeds into stairwell] to allow air passage. There is a cold air return at bottom of closet wall. Door of the closet is louvered for air passage. All are necessary. Don't neglect air passage in a place that has potatoes, onions, stinky brooms and dog food! --Florantha...See MoreD Sutton
